Chapter 851 To Meet Someone

Whitney shook her head as she stood and handed the ball to the boy. “Run along and play.”

The latter quickly gave Whitney a polite bow. “Thank you, miss. I wish you lots of happiness every day.

I’m off to play now!”

With that, the little boy ran off, and to Whitney’s surprise, she felt her mood lift considerably. My, my.

What a well-mannered boy he was!

Now that she was feeling much better, the woman spread her arms wide, feeling the breeze brushing against her face as she basked in the sun.

The next second, Whitney’s stomach let out an audible growl, and only then did she realize she hadn’t.

eaten a single morsel of food since the night before.

Without further ado, she pulled out her phone to look up the nearby restaurants, and it didn’t take long before a particular name caught her eye-Fouad.

Wait a minute… I’ve accompanied Charles to this restaurant before for client meetings. Who knew I’d be back again? What a coincidence. Since I’m already in the area, I shall grab a meal here before leaving.

After realizing the restaurant wasn’t too far away, Whitney rented a public bike and cycled to her destination.

Upon entering the restaurant, she noticed it wasn’t very crowded, and the owner spotted her immediately. “Hello, Ms. Mellor. Are you here alone today, or are you waiting for someone?” he asked smilingly.

Charles was a VIP customer of Fouad and often had female companions by his side, so it was no surprise that the restaurant owner recognized Whitney at a glance.

“I’m on my own today. Don’t worry. You can tend to the other guests,” Whitney answered before picking. up the menu and sitting by the window, feeling somewhat dazed.

As it turned out, Gwendolyn was also in the restaurant meeting with a client, and she spotted Whitney as soon as the woman walked in.

Without further ado, Gwendolyn excused herself and strode over to Whitney.

“Whitney.”

Upon hearing the voice, Whitney looked up in surprise. “Gwendolyn, what brings you here?”

Gwendolyn curled her lips into a smile. “Oh, I just happened to be here to meet a client. How are you?

Have you managed to get in touch with him?”

Alas, Whitney’s expression didn’t look all that good, which made Gwendolyn slightly worried.

He. He’s currently in Muprary. The company there has run into some trouble, and nobody knows when he’ll be able to return. It’s been three days since I last heard from him.”

After seeing Whitney’s red, teary eyes, Gwendolyn pulled out a pack of tissues for her. “Don’t worry.

Harris Group also has companies in Muprary, so I’ll get someone to inquire about Charles’ situtation.

Hell be fine.” the reassured.

“But Gwendolyn Muprary is too chaotic.”

Gwendolyn quickly sat beside Whitney, wrapping her arm around the latter’s shoulders to offer her some comfort.

“Well, it’s a good thing he’s not contacting you. What if his people over there find something out? He’d be worried too, wouldn’t he? Aren’t there times when no news is the best news?”

Even so, Gwendolyn knew what it was like to be plagued with worry.

If Cedrick were in Muprary right now, she’d probably already have flown over to find him.

Once Whitney’s emotions had settled, Gwendolyn suddenly suggested, “If you really can’t stop worrying. go ahead and look for him.”

Whitney froze. “But… What if he doesn’t want to see me?

After all, she couldn’t be sure of Charles’ feelings for her, nor did she dare to bet on it.

“Whitney, sometimes in love, you have to take the initiative,” Gwendolyn advised as she poured Whitney a cup of warm water. “Besides, you’re his girlfriend, not a stranger. Let me know once you’ve made up your mind. I can arrange a private jet for you. In any case, take your time and think it over. I need to get back to my meeting now. Remember… Life is short, so seize and enjoy every moment of it.

If there’s someone you want to see, don’t hesitate.”

After saying that, Gwendolyn walked away, leaving Whitney rather tempted by the suggestion.

Muprary’s a long distance away from Chanaca… Even by plane, the travel would take more than ten hours. Would Charles be surprised if I suddenly showed up? Would he be happy?

The more Whitney thought about her seeing Charles, the more nervous she became.

With the matter weighing heavy on her mind, Whitney absentmindedly ate her food and left the restaurant.

She called Jasmine, and the latter arrived pretty quickly As soon as the car window rolled down, Jasmine smiled and patted the passenger seat. “Get in.

Whitney. I’ll take you somewhere fun. Just so you know, nobody has sat in my passenger seat before, but I’m willing to let you be the first,” she piped up, doing her best to lighten the mood.

At that moment, however, Whitney’s mood was no longer as bad as before.

Gwendolyn’s right… Life is indeed short. If there’s someone I want to see, I should do it immediately.

“Jasmine,” Whitney suddenly interrupted, her expression serious and determined. “I want to go find harm What do you think?”

Him?

Jasmine was momentarily stunned, but it didn’t take long before she grasped what Whimey had meani Bubbling with excitement, she nodded fervently. “Are you going to Muprary? I support you! Do you need to book a flight I can arrange for someone to get you tickets for the fastest flight this instant For a moment. Whitney was pleasantly surprised Wore Who knew Jasmine would have a stronger reaction ze this than met That said I do feel a lot more confident than before because of her affirmation.

Its settled, the fond Charles “No need for that, Jasmine. Please keep this matter confidential,” Whitney replied.

Upon hearing that, Jasmine gave her a knowing look. “Don’t worry. I won’t utter a single word” she said cheerily. “Remember to smack Charles for me once you meet him.”

Soon, the two of them happily returned to the Newton residence, and Whitney began packing her luggage.

At nine in the evening, which was eleven in the morning in Muprary, the latter dialed Isaac’s number.

The phone rang for quite a while before someone on the other end finally picked up.

“Mrs. Newton, is there something you need?” Isaac asked, his voice so deep that Whitney felt a little nervous.

“Can you tell me where you guys are? I want to go see him.”

Isaac hastily stepped outside with his phone as soon as he heard that. “Mrs. Newton… A-Are you serious?” he blurted out.

Oh, dear. Mr. Newton has been very busy negotiating with the local bigwigs recently. Even if Mrs.

Newton were to drop by, he might not have the time to see her….

“Is it not convenient?” Whitney asked.

Isaac turned to the window and glanced at Charles smoking inside. “It’s convenient, but how are you planning to get over here, Mrs. Newton?”

The city we’re currently in is neither big nor small, but more importantly, it doesn’t have an official airport. It’d be quite a hassle for Mrs. Newton to get here.

“I have a way to get to you. All I need is the address. However, please don’t tell Charles about this yet.”

Just then, Charles’ voice came through the receiver. “Isaac.”

With that, Isaac hurriedly ended the call with Whitney and sent her their location.

Early the next day, Whitney dressed herself and applied light makeup before leaving the house.

By then, Jasmine was already waiting for her downstairs.

“Come on. Let’s go! I can’t wait to see the look on Charles’ face when he meets you.”

Whitney couldn’t help but chuckle. My, my. Why does it seem like it’s Jasmine about to meet Charles instead?

Upon reaching the location specified by Gwendolyn, Whitney was greeted by a massive plane parked on the open ground. As it turned out, Cedrick, Gwendolyn, and their two children were already there.

Having spotted Whitney, Zendaya instantly bolted toward her, and the latter scooped her up in her arms.

“Whitney! It’s been such a long time since we last met. What have you been busy with lately? Why haven’t you come to visit me?”

Gently brushing the little one’s nose, Whitney said apologetically, “I’m so sorry, Zendy. I’ve been busy with work. I promise to play with you once I’m free.”

“Okay!” Zendaya exclaimed before planting a kiss on the woman’s cheek.

As Cedrick and Gwendolyn walked over together, the latter broke into a smile.

“Zendy, from now on, you’ll have to stop calling Whitney by her name. She’s your godmother, so you should call her Aunt Whitney, okay?”

“Godmother? Aunt Whitney?”

A hint of confusion flashed across Zendaya’s face, but she quickly recovered and uttered sweetly, “Aunt Whitney!”
